How Pleasure Saved my Life
There is a part of my story on becoming a single mom and healing from the trauma of mentally and emotionally abusive relationship that I’ve been avoiding to share fully in public. Reason being not really knowing how to navigate sharing fully my truth without jeopardizing my personal safety and wellbeing of my family. And also the future of the person who hurt me so badly. It’s a tricky one.
I am a big believer in shining our truth in everything we do. But when it comes to publicly exposing wrongdoings of people who hurt us, for me that’s tricky because I am not revengeful and I feel like I got the best out of my hard journey, that I am even grateful for all the bad stuff I had to go through in the journey of my awakening.
I wouldn’t be the person I am today without all the hardship I have been through. But I also cannot say that what I went through was good. Not at all. It was very traumatic and even shocking. Yet I am torn between keeping the peace with my ex and helping other people overcome similar hardships by sharing my story fully.
In an attempt to speak my truth fully, but not cause any damage to anyone, even to people that hurt me the most, I co-authored the book that became the Best-seller on Amazon in various categories. The focus of my story is how tapping into all levels of pleasure - mundane, sensual and sexual - helped me heal and turnaround my love-life.
I share my full journey and all the things I did that kept me sane in those hard days and lifted me above all the stigma that usually surrounds single moms, even more so in a foreign country.
Besides my story this book includes 18 other real life stories on sex, love & relationships. The authors come from all over the world but I am the only author from the Balkans. As the publisher is based in the UK, all royalties will support a charity that helps victims of domestic abuse - Hopeful Handbags Global.
Isn’t that a hopeful world that we are creating?
